A South Hadley police detective did not immediately return a phone message, but the Daily Hampshire Gazette reports that the victim was allegedly "violently strip-searched" by Hernandez, who believed the woman had stolen money from him.

The four men pulled the woman from a car on the evening of March 7 and began to choke and pummel her, according to authorities. The woman fled into an apartment, but Hernandez forced his way inside and forcibly removed the woman's clothes in search of cash he believed she was hiding, according to the Gazette, citing a police report.

The men were later stopped by police after officers spotted a vehicle matching the description of the one in which they seen fleeing. The men admitted they were at the apartment to collect cash belonging to Hernandez, according to police. Authorities said drugs were found in the car.

Bail was set for three of the defendants, while the fourth was released on personal recognizance. All four are expected back in court for a Sept. 5 pretrial hearing.
